Day 9 | Invest

Matthew 28:19-20 NIV

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

INVEST: Jesus’ Great Commission is a call to action for all believers. We are tasked with making disciples, baptizing them, and teaching them His ways. This isn’t just a mission for pastors or missionaries; it’s for each of us. By investing our time and resources in others, we help them grow in their faith and follow Jesus. Remember, Jesus promised to be with us always, giving us the strength and courage to fulfill this mission.

Looking to go deeper into today’s Scripture?  

1. Sit quietly for a few minutes. Take a deep breath calming your heart and mind in the presence of Jesus. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your soul to hear what Jesus wants to tell you.

2. Read today’s Scripture slowly. Listen for God’s voice to you in the text. Read it again and try to identify one word or phrase that stood out to you or caught your attention. 

3. Ponder/meditate what God is saying to you. What is going on in the passage? What is God wanting you to know? What is the good news He wants for you?

4. Begin to pray from this Scripture passage. Pray in response to what God is saying to you. What is the Holy Spirit laying on your heart out of this passage? Do you need to pray for a confession? Do you need to pray for action? Do you need to pray for a conviction or an affirmation? 

5. Share with your family or friend.  What is your key take-away from this passage? What will you put into practice?  Who do you want to pray for to come to know Jesus?
